If it works with gadget bridge on Android, that is really great. However, in the future I do intend to switch to a phone running #NuraEco (formerly PostMarketOS) so I wonder if there's a way to use it on that as well. Because if I'm understanding correctly at least, Gadget Bridge is an Android app.\n\nThe main reasons for not wanting a smartwatch for me is, first of all, that it has another screen that, since I am blind, I cannot really see, and they are thick little bastards, and without having a screen, the battery life would last longer.\n\nIn my previous life, before I cared so much about using open source as much as possible, I did try a smartwatch and was rather unimpressed and didn't end up keeping it around. That would have been back in something like the 2017 timeframe.\n\nI also had a Fitbit tracker that was touch sensitive but did not have a screen on it and so when you touched it a number of lights would light up to show you what the battery level was and that's the only thing you could see from the device itself and that was fine."}
